Business and systems analysts drive a project from its initial state of uncertainty, through a clearly defined and agreed upon set of requirements, to an information system which would solve specific business problems. The analyst is responsible for analysing business needs through a careful study of business processes and communication with clients. Once the analysis is completed, the analyst should communicate the results to the programmers, who will code and implement the solution. The analysts act as a link between the programmers and clients through the entire development and installation process. The analyst is the key to ensuring a good fit between the information system and the organisation. Their role is integral to the success of the information system, and thus to the success of the organisation. Students are trained in information technology skills, business skills and interpersonal relationship skills. REMARKS a.

It is the software that enables computers to do a variety of things such as web pages to pay traffic fines. Developing such software requires a number of skills: systems analysis, programming, testing and project management. Before one can start to program a software system, it is important to understand and analyse exactly what the system should do. Programming is translating what the system should do into a program that will instruct the computer to do the required task. Errors can be made in developing a system and it is important to develop skills in finding these errors and correcting them. Developing systems can involve a number of different people and has different parts to it. Someone needs to manage the project. On completion of this diploma, a student should have skills in developing a software system. This programme will prepare students for a number of careers: IT systems analyst, systems designer, programmer, systems developer, systems tester and project manager.
